_It is, of course, a war play written
directly a@ a result of being in action,

but because the public shuns war

books immediately after a war, it was

written only recently. There is real
interest in the play which it is not
enough to catch from the purely
cheap point of view. The melo-
dramatic scenes are few, and _ the

‘simple presentation is a further merit.
There are three distinct elements in
the play: that which ‘is decidedly
tragic, a strong and amusing comic
element, and a certain sentimental
element to contribute to the tragedy.
This ‘last, the boy’s heroworship,
the tragedy of
_ Stanhope’s ‘gradual’ breakdown. Ra-
leigh; however could be removed
without hurting the tragedy, for he is
on the whole rather stupid and
doesn’t seem to understand what. is
going on around ‘him; he is typically
the British public school boy, and not
a general enough type for: the play.
The comic element is extremely sim-
ple, and only enters with the orderly
who serves the soup and other things.
It combines contrast with the intense
scenes, and splendid .acting on_ the
part of the orderly to bring relieved
but genuine laughter.
.The tragic element is not of the
_sort to induce tears, “And I cry when-
ever a mother says goodbye to her
son in the movies,” acknowledged
Miss Carey. The disillusionment of
the boy contributes in part to the ef-
fect, but it is not this which makes
the play so hard to talk about and
ie a real-disinclination to discuss

presented that an audience can look
through the simple life and: the simple
“scenery around them and gain a won-,
derful sense of the strain they are
under. The war turns one-man into

it shows another with his ideals
heightened, and breaks the. brilliant
' young captain completely. This kind
of strain is a common experience
though perhaps rarely so great, and
it is evident that the kind of thing
which can bring this sort of strain
is a curse and a violation of civiliza-
tion—nothing _ which wastes men so
can go on, and man has tried to re-
move it through civilization. It is
here that the strength of “Journey’s
End” lies; in, realizing that that strain
is present in war, while other plays
have shown the glamor, the farce, or
the love interests of war.

A very young person could see that
play and understand the normal. peo-
ple in their horrible, heightened: state.
If war can-do that to ordinary ‘people,
something must be done to keep from
this hysteria. A very importaat thing
has been done when it is brought
directly into the experience of all. of
us.

Miss Thomas also remembered the
many bloody battles in the faculty over
the choice of the European Fellows.

Graduate fellowships out for: study in
Europe are more common now. The
Bryn Mawr European Fellowship’ is
probably the only undergraduate award
of its-kind in the courttry. Ex-President
Thomas, in her idea of an undergraduate
fellowship, had the faith that young peo-
ple of ability would go ahead if oppor-
tunity was given them; the award is
based not on plans for future research,
nor on the need for assistance, but on
the assumption that the student chosen
has ‘within herself the possibilities for
scholarly work, and that the college
should ,see to. the flowering of these
seeds. The record of the European Fel-
lows at Bryn Mawr has been notable,

|in spite of the fact that the college does

not consult the student’s wishes; the
Fellowship adds a flavor to the, aca-
demic honours, for it points to the future
rather than merely rewarding past
achievements. :

When fellowships and scholarships are
awarded to graduate work, it is -neces-
sary to say a few words to an under-
graduate in favor of the ‘institution of
scholarly research. Although the word
may be repellent to the undergraduate
mind, it is a curious thing that scho-
larly research has a- fascination almost
unique among the professions. The sub-
jects may appear at first sight dry and
sterile, but the work itself produces an
enthusiasm and an interest in detail that
is _extraordinarilyinspiring. Not only
does research arouse fervor and passion
in the student, but it is a real force in
human conduct; great implications of
one’s own subject, anda consciousness
of background come with the tastes and
proper gifts for research; even the min-
utiae- take on a glamour. .-One has also
to recognize the tremendous part it plays
rin. civilization—the. applications of scien-
tific research and the effects they have
upon every detail of our lives. Research
inother~ fields, “in ‘humanities, social
science, psychology are the moulding of
opinion, habits of mind and social. cus-
toms of another generation in the re-
search of the graduate students and the
faculty of today. The best of these scho-
lars, knowing their fields in a broad way,
are really building for the future of the
world perhaps more than any other group
of men and- women in the world today.

really broadening, for some at least, lies
in the fact that the interests of the Sen-
ior Class are fairly equally ‘distributed;
in all fields, while those of the Freshman |
and Sophomore classes are’ concentrated
in one or two. The fact that miscella-
neous activities, which head ‘includes

THE COLLEGE NEW

the challenge that graduate’ study. in
America is concerned with amassing
Students and professors, Mr.
Foerster affirms, are alike afraid of a

is likely to be extreme and not
always well-founded. However, the at-
tack of Foerster and his followers is
made in such earnestness that it cannot
be lightly thrust ‘aside. Professor W. H.
Nitze, in his address at the annual meet-
ing of the Modern Language Associa-
tion of America last December, takes up
the cudgels against too much of the sub-
jective _ elen He
would exclude the critic from the field

element in scholarship.

of the scholar because the primary func-
tion of the critic is “to evaluate (in
terms of personality,” whereas the pri-
mary function of the scholar is “to know
(in terms of fact).” However, he does

grant that Modern Language Scholarship |’

“primarily consists in being sensitive to
fact.” The word “sensitive,” Miss Dunn
conjectures, implies at least some qual-
ity in the collector of facts which is in-
ward, and which comes father close to
the “critical evaluation” which Mr. Nitze
seems.to—condemn—as-subjective and uti="
scholarly.

The modern disciples of fact, Miss
Dunn continued, seem to have forgotten
“that there are certain universal, eternal
laws of taste which lie at the heart of
all art. This body of artistic principals
is_a_rock, beaten upon and corroded by
the winds of time and. circumstance, but

pletely into something else.” Attieriea
is a “new country of doers and pionéérs.
We_understand: facts, but we dd-notun-
derstand civilized taste. We suspect that
standards of taste cannot be profound as
we suspect. that manners cannot consort
with true worth.”

Miss Dunn believes; however, that we
are now tending to swing away from
such an. attitude. The toil in bare facts,
on the other hand, has not been without
its advantages—we have gained by it a
certain freedom; and in turning toward
a more humanistic point of view, it will
not_be_necessaryto throw aside—meticu-
lousness or painful accuracy. Even these
can be made to serve the new humanism.

The goal of. American education
should be to send forth scholars, “sure
of the importance of facts, convinced of
the value of accuracy, bearing neces-
sarily the pains and. weariness. of ex-
haustive research, but. having the cour-

}age to weigh their facts, their precious

matter,‘ in the scales of taste, having
fortified themselves first by an arduous
study of aesthetic standards leading to a
discovery of the inwardness and truth of
criticism in its enduring phases.”

Miss Dunn .comamended Bryn Mawr
because it had always fostered this type
of scholarship. The library has always
emphasized facilities for research, the
excellent faculty and small student. body
have given opportanity for expert atten-
tion to individual needs, and its. selected
group of .exchange scholars from Brit-
ain and the Continent have lent color
and~-stimulus to’ the intellectual life of.
the graduate school. In all these points
as well as in many others, Miss Dunn
concluded, Bryn Mawr is to be pro-
foundly congratulated. .

Preceding the principal lecture of the
evening, short talks were given by three

in Radnor. ‘Miss Ferguson enumerated a

One thing about which Miss Fergu-

Whereupon the other, saciid dis-

Stories about America, however tall,
are believed over there with childlike
faith. Statements like the following,
Miss Ferguson said she was ashamed to
admit, were not only credited as fact by
her, but actually passed on to ers:
(1) that rum-runners. were ways
guarded by policemen in armored) cars;
(2) that everyone carried a rfvolver,
special dainty models being used by the
ladies; (3) that the efficiency of Ameri-
can business men depended upon the fact
that they drank a bottle of milk every
noon for lunch.

(Mile. Bourdy’s advice to students who
ate going to France is to forget all pre-
coriceived® notions abdut that country,
such asthe idea (derived doubtless from
early French. grammars) that the chief
topics of conversation are pens, ink and
paper; orgthe idea that everybody is
fond of ines.

She also advised them to have a little
more general knowledge of the geog-
raphy of France_than her dentist in
Philadelphia displayed when he assured
her that the’ whole of France is covered
with farms, though there are two rather
important towns in the country—Paris
and Notre Dame. Miss Bourdy said she
had not: the heart to destroy his bucolic
vision of her country.

If she were ever. asked to write her
impressions of America, they would prob-
ably run. something like this (taking a
particular impression): “In my last visit
to ‘America I was particularly interested
in a thrilling game which seems to have
until now escaped notice in France. Like

larger the assembly the better... The best
time to play it is in the middle of the
night. You first go to bed and _ fall
deeply asleep. There is a kind of a
ring, and everyone has to rush down-’
stairs where someone times the arrivals.
Then you go to bed again.
(1) The only thing” you
really need for the game is a wet towel.
(I suppose this is to keep you awake.) |
(2) You can’t “spoit the game bywsayz"

is a game you don’t pay to play at, but
you pay for not playing.

One phase of American experience
which foreigners usually find distressing,
Miss Stadt recalls as one of her most
pleasant remembrances of America. As
she awaited her turn in the long line
at the desk of the Immigration Officer in
New York, she was not a little uneasy at
the prospect of being sent .to Ellis
Island, for one reason or another. When
her turn came the officer smiled very
courteously and asked-her. where she was
going. When she told him, he was im-
mediately interested and asked her what
she was studying. Upon learning that
her field was English philology, he be-
came enthusiastic and proceeded to de-
liver a lecture on the delights of the sub-
ject (which. proved to be his hobby),
much to the irritation of the waiting
crowds behind her.
